How to Hang A Pot To Cook
Find a twig like this. Have a thong of leather in your sack. Use a hanging branch or fashion a crossbeam, or stick a stick in the deep snow at a slant over the location you will have your fire. Tie one end of the thong to the crossbeam and another between the two outpointing branches, closer to the "upper" outpointing branch shown in the example above.
If or when your pot is to low over the fire, wrap the excess slack around the stick shaft, and the top-out-pointing branch will prevent the slack from coming undone, maintaining your pot at a desired height from your fire.
Use the lower up-pointing branch as your pot hook.
